My brilliant writing friend Kristen McHenry is a master at tickling the funny-bone and stimulating the gray matter with miles of uncanny news and dire information you never knew you needed. This week’s post for The Good Typist is no exception, and is an exceptional and exigent entree you mustn’t miss and need to consume!

The Navy Cross is the second highest award for valor given to members of the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. Staff Sergeant Sky Mote was awarded the Navy Cross for heroically sacrificing his life to save fellow Marines while serving in Afghanistan during Operation Enduring Freedom in 2012.

Early last year, the U.S. Congress designated a mountain in the John Muir Wilderness of the Sierra National Forest as “Sky Point.” To memorialize this event and honor Staff Sergeant Sky Mote, we ask you to share this post and please visit this web page where the official Congressional decree is posted: https://www.congress.gov/…/115th-congre…/house-bill/381/text.

You shall find it a reverent experience, and we hope you join us here at the 59 VETERANS PROJECT as we salute this brave Marine.

Here’s a blast from the past poem of mine about loyalty and true friendship. These are the things that give so much meaning to our lives! Yes?

DESERT LOYALTY

Once you found yourself alone…far from trust and paradise,
Bereft of all those you gave every ounce of loyalty to.
Though now these sands are harsh and hot–they are as cold as ice!
And rife with the rage of a world that has turned against you.
Yet time after time another promise has come along…
Heard from the lips of ardent friendships that swore to be true.
Instead, you were left to die…like silence murders a song,
Or as wind does over the sand…to leave the desert askew!

Then here upon this barren plain you happened upon me.
To find and save my life when I was at death’s very brink.
Still, though I humbly thanked you and swore eternal loyalty,
You no more believed me…though I wrote it in mortal ink!
Now over time and other lifetimes the desert has fed
More betrayal to you, and too much disdain of me, I think.
Still, I have waited years to be thirsting and almost dead…
Ah, to find water…and give you the first and only drink!

I just read something short, sweet, beautiful and immensely enlightening and inspirational. And I wanted to share it with you. Why? Because I believe in random acts of kindness and I believe everyone deserves an opportunity to discover Catherine B. Roy!

The importance of immediately removing water, remediating water damage and cleaning mold from your home or office is of cosmic importance! Thus, you need to call the No. 1 Remediation, Repair and Cleanup Service available.

The 59 VETERANS PROJECT just recently changed its main page photo to one of beautiful Glacier National Park in Montana, USA. It is one of our country’s national treasures and one of our magnificent 59 national parks where we can’t wait to launch our project designed to train returning U.S. service men and women to become professional 4K ulrta high-definition and virtual reality videographers.
